Miss Anya card

Ok so I just got these awesome stamps from The Greeting Farm http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/ for my prize in their Stamp A Day Giveaway. I couldnt wait to try them. Then I saw this weeks sketch on CPS Card Sketches http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ and I knew they would go together perfectly. This is my first time entering the CPS challenge but I loved the sketch and I am very happy with the result .

To make the card I used some locally made cardstock along with PP that I received in a swap. The image is from the Miss Anya Dressy set. I stamped her up twice and tucked the first image under the PP and then I cut out the skirt and legs and on the second image and layered that on top of the PP. I finished it off with some crystal jems I got from a friend.



Thanks for looking and hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Color Throwdown #56

Hey there. Wow two posts in one day. That must be a record for me. LOL.

Well the next challenge card is for the Color Throwdown #56 challenge over at http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ . The colors we are to use are SU colors Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, and Dusty Durango. Well since I dont have any of those so I improvised as best as I could with what I had and I think it turned out pretty good. I used some mat papers from a Making Memories pad I had and a new PP that I got recently. The image is Tender Hug by Penny Black. I colored the image with Bics and Copics. I then added the gems for a little something extra. I used a sketch from a challenge in Card Makin Mommas over on Cafemom.

I really hope that this will count since I don't have the exact colors and I just noticed that the teal blue matting barely shows up. I had fun with this challenge regardless.

Bellarific Friday Challenge

Well its another week and another Bella challenge. This time I was also doing a card kit swap on Cafemom and so I used my kit to make the challenge card since the kit included a huggabug image. I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out too. I used everything given to me in my card kit and I used my Bic mark-its and Copics to color her in. I also used Stickles for the wings.

Oh and by the way I won $10 in Bella Bucks after the last challenge. YAY for new supply $$.

Farm Fresh Friday Challenge

So I finally got up the nerve to try my hand at a challenge over at the Greeting Farm blog http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/and I am soooo happy with the result. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a win here since I really LOVE the stamps set that is the prize.

I used a Miss Anya image that I got in a swap from a group on Cafemom. I got the papers on a recent trip to Salem where I went and checked out a couple new supply shops. I colored Anya with Bic Mark-its and Copics.

Little Paper Shop, Bellarific Friday, and The Color Throwdown

Hey everyone. I know I havent posted in a long time. I have been so busy and I had to get a new camera, but here is a new card to show off.

I am combining three challenges with this card. Who knew that once card could fit the requirements for 3 challenges. Woo Hoo.



First challenge is for Little Paper Shop: http://littlepapershop.blogspot.com/ , this is a color challenge: pink, red and blue. They have an awesome stamp prize for the winner. Check out the blog. There are lots of pretties to look at.

Second challenge is for the Bellarific Friday sketch: http://stampingbella.com/blog/ . I didnt even realize when I was making the card that I was following the sketch. I had printed it off and forgot it at work. My subconscious must have been working overtime last night.

Third challenge is for The Color Throwdown http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ . I cant beleive that they had the same color challenge as LPS. Now I just began following this blog thanks to a friend I have to say that upon first glance it seems like a fun blog. I am looking forward to participating in more of their challenges.

Thanks for looking everyone.
